HOTEL - AKJ3H

Kakadu National ParkExplore Kakadu National Park with its Aboriginal culture and later visit the mighty Jim Jim Gorge and Twin Falls. This tour is great for people wishing to hike along Jim Jim Gorge, with its towering cliffs on either side. In the wet season it is a raging river!

Tour operates June to October only.

Children under 5 years of age are not permitted on this tour.  

Day 1: Yellow Waters Wetlands
Turning off the Stuart Highway, we travel along the Arnhem Highway passing the major river systems and wetland regions into Kakadu National Park. After crossing the South Alligator River we begin to explore the World Heritage Area of Ubirr Rock where we climb up through the ancient Aboriginal rock art galleries to the lookout for the famous view over surrounding wetlands. We then visit the Bowali Centre with informative displays, and continue to Cooinda to join Kakadu’s fabled Yellow Waters Wetland Cruise to experience the beauty of the Kakadu wetlands.
Accommodation: Cooinda – choice of hotel or tented
(Lunch)

Day 2: Nourlangie Rock
Today’s highlights include visits to Nourlangie Rock region and Anbangbang Billabong which includes spectacular Arnhem Land Escarpment views, ancient Aboriginal occupation sites and pristine freshwater environs. We also venture off the beaten track to Barramundi Gorge, where a 2km return walk through paperbark forest leads to a small waterfall and clear plunge pool with the opportunity to swim. This walk is graded moderate with difficult areas requiring some agility in rougher parts of the track.
Accommodation: Cooinda – choice of hotel or tented
(Continental Breakfast, Lunch)

Day 3: Jim Jim and Twin Falls
A truly enjoyable day exploring the majestic beauty of Jim Jim and Twin Falls. Access to Jim Jim Gorge is by a 900 metre walk over rocks. Active people have no problems. The falls may not flow throughout the dry season, but if there has been a reasonable wet season they will still be running up until late August and the plunge pool at the base of Jim Jim provides the opportunity for a welcome swim throughout the year. The surrounding gorges are a spectacle to behold as the rock colours continuously change with the suns’ position.

Access to Twin Falls is by a short easy stroll to the edge of the stream and then a short boat trip up the gorge area to the beach at the base of these beautiful falls, with time to relax in the spectacular scenery that you are bound to remember for a long time. Travel to Jim Jim & Twin Falls is in a side-facing Troop Carrier tour vehicle. Late afternoon we make our way out of Kakadu National Park, viewing Jabiru Township and pausing for an evening snack (own expense) at the Bark Hut Inn. Arrive Darwin mid evening.
(Continental Breakfast, Lunch)
